Piece of Lothar and Bunnie Rabbot (I have no idea if I’m spelling that right and like fuck am I googling it) from General Radix. Sent over a month ago to the fan art email account we seem to forget exists. Sorry! Still, quite cool action pose with one of the 3,645 (approximately) inspirations for Lothar.

Will hopefully have an update on when Virus will be back to comic duties soon.

If memory serves Lothar lost his limbs to land mines, but I do prefer the idea that there’s some serf in charge of prosthetics who just looks at the body, looks at his “Cybernetics for dummies” handbook, and then just slaps on whatever looks close enough.

So you fellas totally need to bring Bunny into the storyline somehow, because she’s too awesome to leave out forever. Resurrection? Lame. Spiritual haunting? … mmmm, comedic potential but hard to fit into any plot longer than a few pages. Time travel? … honestly seems up your alley. No offense.

So mad cultists can summon giant daemons from beyond the Veld, massive vortexes torn from the warp can obliterate furry Australia, daemon-possesed machine rampage across unsuspecting apartments, and the essence of thousands of souls can be stored within a magic bookend. But the resurrection of one person from the dead is too far-fetched.

As far as inspriation for Lothar. In the Necromunda game rulebook, there’s a sidebar story about a hardcore assassin wiping out a large group of people, an his name is Lothar Hex.
Concidence? Or has Lothar been taking freelance jobs in other realities?

The funny thing is, since I noticed this, every time I reread that section, I picture an angry, cybernetic echidna in a yellow hat slaughtering those people. Given the background of 40K, and the Imperium’s attitude towards mutants and nonhumans, it makes it hilarious. :)
